In it, Asheville Citizen-Times reports that:

I would like to respond to the letter 'Recent letter offered no examples of Darwinian disingenuousness,' . He responds to an article with, 'He says evolution is 'so riddled with holes,' yet fails to provide a ...

<quoted text> I call that, laziness in the highest order. I am not English, but i can speak it, many reasons are associated with that, that you ignorantly failed to look at. More of license trash, but you can not bend the truth.

You can use the language, but you also abuse it. Using the adjective form of "own" as a verb is abusing the language. Do you know what adjectives and verbs are?

<quoted text> I meant, ownership by origination. Now, if something did not come into form( originate) how can people make use of that thing? if English did not come/ came into form, how can people of other languages have access to it?

Origination =/= ownership.

You need to understand what words mean. You are trying to maneuver around your error.

I see you cannot answer coherently. I call that, laziness in the highest order. More of the "ownership by origination" BS, but you can not bend the truth.

<quoted text> Just accept the fact, you don' t know. You were the same liar that said, English originated from Northern Germany, and i asked you a simple question, where in Germany as a whole, English is taken as first or native language, to no avail. Waiting!

<quoted text> Not relevant to your excuses. If the English did not introduced the language, people like you or i( me), would 'nt have had access to the language, by that implication, they are the owners of the languague, so giving excuses of licenses, is not relevant here.

<quoted text> Clearly and logically right! The English introduced their language to all the countries that takes English as first or official language, by that, they are the owners of the language, but passed it through conquest to other nations, so no licensing involved.

Not relevant to the question of ownership of the English language.

Introduction,... official,... conquest,.... none of it is relevant to the question of ownership of the English language.

----------Possible meanings of the word 'own':

"Of or belonging to oneself or itself" does English belong ONLY to England?

Answer: No. First test of ownership failed.

---------- "That which belongs to one". Does English only belong to one or a sole owner?

Answer: No. Second test of ownership failed.

----------"a. To have or possess as property:" Does England have or possess the English language as property?

Answer: No. Third test of ownership failed.

----------" To have control over:". Does England have control over the English Language?

See above post. Your post has no bearing on who owns the English language.

Sure. Meanwhile, you still apply double standards to protect your religious beliefs from scrutiny while assuming that everything that you think might contradict them must necessarily be incorrect in some way. Cherrypicking. And, that's dishonest. And, you were even dishonest when we discussed the practice. If you have to repeatedly and brazenly lie to maintain your religious beliefs, your religious beliefs must rest upon the shakiest of foundations. Pathetic.

<quoted text> I meant, ownership by origination. Now, if something did not come into form( originate) how can people make use of that thing? if English did not come/ came into form, how can people of other languages have access to it?

Oh, so you have wasted a whole year merely arguing that the English originated English? Wow, what an idiot. Really.
